LHCb results show generation non-Universality (non-SM)

I am eager to see what the found and at what significance....asking for extra experiments means that the significance they got was not high enough to consist an actual discovery(?). So nevertheless if someone sees the publication before I do, post it here please?

Nevertheless it would be cool... either for SUSYs (non-minimal coupling) or GUTs (like a NUGIM I guess)... although it's getting quiet tiring with the news they let to reach out the world (with a significance of >2std we are told that something new was discovered...I guess that's marketing)

Abstract-The branching fraction ratio R(D∗)≡B(B¯¯¯0→D∗+τ−ν¯τ)/B(B¯¯¯0→D∗+μ−ν¯μ) is measured using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to 3.0\invfb of integrated luminosity recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The tau lepton is identified in the decay mode τ−→μ−ν¯μντ. The semitauonic decay is sensitive to contributions from non-Standard-Model particles that preferentially couple to the third generation of fermions, in particular Higgs-like charged scalars. A multidimensional fit to kinematic distributions of the candidate B¯¯¯0 decays gives R(D∗)=0.336±0.027(stat)±0.030(syst). This result, which is the first measurement of this quantity at a hadron collider, is 2.1 standard deviations larger than the value expected from lepton universality in the Standard Model.

Looks like a false alarm.

LHCb publishes important results on their public page before random news websites get them. Nothing there. Also, CERN would make a press release.

eurekalert.org refers to Brian Hamilton as one of the leading analyzers, which matches the arXiv preprint websterling found, and the description fits as well. It is also in agreement with a different recent news directly linking this (and mentioning the same publication date).2.1 sigma significance is nothing. There are multiple 2-sigma-deviations, but those measurements are not independent.

It means the LHCb result is not contributing very much to the average.
2016 data should help, and by 2018 LHCb might be much more precise than the other experiments if the systematics can be reduced sufficiently.

And multiple other measurements with a ~2 sigma tension all in the same direction, but those have correlated systematics so they could have a common source.
Run 2 of the LHC will certainly be interesting.
